4th Confession [Action][Event]

[That icon is the face he made at first.

"You've gotta' be fucking kidding me—"

Wolfwood has been teleporting since he found Vash dangling out of a treetop, and now it just won't stop. Among his list of places he's randomly teleported:

1.) Into the lake. If you're passing by, you may notice either flailing arms (along with veeeery colorful curse words, or just... bubbles. Yeah. He really needs to learn this whole swimming business. It's so sad to realize he'd been talking about the dangers of lakes just a while ago. Don't worry, he's crossless, so it should be easier to heft him out? :|a

2.) Into your homes! Whether he's crashing onto your set-up breakfast table, falling into your bed, locked in your cabinets with the cleaning supplies, dropping through the fireplace, whichever you choose! Anything you can imagine in your places, go ahead and have him tumbling in or just randomly appearing.

3.) If you're around the desert, a hand suddenly shoots out of the sand!! Yeah, he got stuck and it sort of piled up from there. Unsurprisingly enough, he's used to this;

4.) A GIANT CROSS JUST FELL RIGHT ON TOP OF YOU. Don't worry, Mr. Priest is coming soon after.

5.) Just... walking nervously through the forest with his cross weighing him down. He's exhausted as hell, what with all this teleporting, and really just wants to go home and sleep in his bed. And hopefully not get sick.

Anything else you find suitable or interesting for him to appear, by all means go for it. :3c]

[Wolfwood chuckles.]

I can't say I'm very excited about the cold weather. After all, I've spent my whole life getting used to hot weather, so this'll be quite the experience.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Does it ever rain there at all?

[notabluesbro]

Not that I've ever seen, no; all the water's underground. So we don't have any oceans or lakes or even rivers.

The planet we lived on before that—before I was born—probably had them, but that place is long dead.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

That sounds unpleasant. [Blink.] Uh. Not to insult your home world. I'm just very attached to the ocean.

[notabluesbro]

No, you're putting it lightly. The place is too hot, too violent, and way too annoying to put up with at any time of the day. [He waves a hand as he speaks, sighing.] But I guess it's better than nothing.

[He grins softly.]

And here I am in awe at a lake and some rain. I can't even imagine what a real ocean must be like...

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[She grins back.] Huge and unpredictable and full of pirates and cyclones. Well, at least where we're from. But it's beautiful. [Tilting her head to consider this, and then her smile turns wry.] If you're in Luceti long enough, you may get to see it. I wouldn't put it past the Malnosso to dump one on our heads just to see how we react.

[notabluesbro]

Swap out cyclones for sandstorms and I think we're talking.

[A small laugh, because the image of a giant ocean dropping down is just horrifying. Maybe he'll finally get to see what a whale looks like. *_*]

It isn't as beautiful when you're drowning in the middle of it, I would think.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

No, I'd guess not. I think I'd just prefer if we suddenly had a beach on one side of the village or something.

[Sitting down on the edge of her bed.] So how long have you known Vash?

[notabluesbro]

Hummmm, let's see... It's been a few years... He'd been riding a bus through one of the rougher patches of desert with the insurance gals, and spotted me out there half-buried in sand.

After that, it was a real journey, let me tell you. The first few hours I knew him, I ended up getting stuck running from giant robotic spiders.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

{FFFF Giant what--remind her to never drop by Gunsmoke for a visit :|]

My meeting with him was a ...lot less insane. I think it was his first time playing out in the snow. Without a coat. He's as dense as my captain, I swear.

Insurance girls? One being Meryl?

[notabluesbro]

He's a pretty dense guy, I'll admit.

[A laugh.]

Thaaat's right—the Bernardelli Insurance girls, Meryl Stryfe and Milly Thompson. They were some of the very few people who could keep up with ol' Needle Noggin.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Needle noggin? [Snicker.] I'll have to remember that one.

You sound like you're good friends.

[notabluesbro]

Well... I've known him for a few years... So I guess you can say that. [He smiles.] I spend half of our friendship kicking and slapping him upside the head, but I think it counts.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's a common thing, then, is it? I think the first time Sanji-kun met the poor guy, there was violence.

[notabluesbro]

Sanji? Ohoho, I just 'visited' him while he was making breakfast. Didn't mean to, of course, but ah well.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

You didn't land on top of his cooking, did you?

[notabluesbro]

Luckily no! He was already grumpy enough that I fell in out of nowhere. But at least he was nice enough to spare me a few bowls of that... ah, what was it? Some time of that 'fish'. Never had it before!

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

[With Sanji, 'fish' could mean a whole variety of things.] Guess you wouldn't get much in the way of fish out in the desert.

[notabluesbro]

Well, everyone knew what it was in definition's terms. Before we lived on that planet, we did have another world called Earth—had fish and oceans and rain. But I guess it got pretty banged up, one way or another, because we left it and never went back.

...Though... We all didn't exactly choose this new planet to get stranded on, but you make due with what you're given.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Sounds like you're a bunch of survivors, then.

...There's a lot of people that come from Earth in Luceti, you know? [Sounding thoughtful. She's an uncomplicated sea-dweller - the idea that people could actually leave a world in the first place is a mind-boggling one, let alone being able to do enough damage to it that leaving is necessary.] But I think it's a lot of different versions. Some people obviously come from a place that's still alive and well, and others come from one that's poisonous to live on.

...there's maps in the library, if you're curious. It's mostly ocean. [Going from that to nothing but desert sounds like a huge culture shock, really.]

1/2

[notabluesbro]

[He looks thoughtful for a moment...]

Maps, huh?

Maybe. Things from the world's past aren't really something I've put a lot of thought into. In fact, most people on that old desert planet don't care to look back any further than they need to.

[notabluesbro]

...After all, most people end up lingering on their own short histories.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

True enough. I guess in some things, there's no point in looking back at what was, anyway.

How do you go living out in the desert? Is there a lot of water to be found beneath the surface?

[notabluesbro]

Iiit's pretty deep under there—takes a lot of well-work and even then it's harder to get by in the tiny towns. But at least there is something under there for us to go for.

Other than that, living in a desert... well, lots of sweating and mirages and nasty cacti to munch on if you're stranded. And the amount of bandits without any real laws to abide by? It's definitely a challenge.

I'm surprised at how many nice people are actually around there, all things considered.

[mikangirl.livejournal.com]

Probably just as well you do have nice people there somewhere. Vash doesn't strike me as the type to manage too well if there aren't.
